At the risk of incurring the wrath of your finance adviser or sending hard earned dollars overseas, have you looked at the P-mounts offered by Universal Astronomics? Apparently, on the CN Binocular Forum, they are considered to be the Rolls Royce of mounts. Not cheap, but what a good time to buy!
I don't have any experience with this mount.......but you're more than welcome to store it here for
"safe keeping"........and *cough*personal survival *cough*, Houghy.

um yes I know exactly what you are thinking, no she has no idea, and no she wont know aboutr this until i have had it a while failing that plan I will use the plan I had it up the back anyway for a long time and only just got it out
Images are reversed left to right in these mirror mounts though, so I guess its up to individual taste.
I'm looking at the 25 X 100mm binocular + Bintel mount too !
I have the binos - the same as their 25x100 optex ones the mount. Bintel supplied me with some exclusive images (because I asked and Don was kind enought to take them and send to me) to help me make my mind up. they are of some of the components, rather than the overall mount. It fits directly onto a az3 mount? Actually so far the bintel service has been great sales wise. I think for the cost of the overseas item verses the local product, i might go with the bintel one unless I can find something cheaper, better and/or local. I don't think anyone on the forum makes this type of thing?
The mirror mount may be a strange experience for the viewer initially, but the parallelogram mount is always going to strain the neck at the zenith.
Mirror mount from your link looks very easy on the neck and more likely to see extended use!!!!
Bintel unit looks sturdy though Houghy - Don sent me some pics a while back too when I was enquiring about it. I just wanted the parallelogram part as I already had an EQ3 tripod.

I set off to get lunch from the Sydney Fish markets and, as it's a nice day, ended up at
Bintel instead. I'm now the proud owner of a large binocular mount.
FIsh and chips would certainly have been cheaper and a lot lighter to carry back to work (a bit over 1Km).
Clouds willing, I'll try it out tonight with the Andrews 20x80s.
